Mattheus posted a 6.43 ERA over six relief appearances with Triple-A Louisville. He'll be on the lookout for a minor league deal elsewhere. Sun, Apr 24, 2016 02:54:00 PM

Reds re-signed RHP Ryan Mattheus to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

They non-tendered Mattheus last month but will bring him back on a minor league deal. Mattheus, 32, held a 4.02 ERA and 37/18 K/BB ratio over 56 relief innings last season between the Angels and Reds. Fri, Jan 8, 2016 01:46:00 PM

Mattheus was claimed off waivers from the Angels in May and put up a 4.09 ERA with 35 strikeouts and 17 walks over 55 innings during his time with Cincinnati. However, the Reds didn't want to give him a raise in arbitration, so he'll try his luck on the open market. Wed, Dec 2, 2015 04:05:00 PM

Mattheus worked a scoreless frame in his one relief appearance with the Halos before being designated for assignment. He'll start in middle relief with the Reds but could conceivably work his way into a more integral role given Cincy's bullpen issues. Wed, May 13, 2015 02:06:00 PM

Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports SP Anthony DeSclafani has recovered from his elbow injury and will be fully ready for action at the start of spring training.

DeSclafani missed the entire 2017 season with a sprained UCL in his right elbow after opting for rehabilitation rather than Tommy John surgery. He could be a nice sleeper this year if he can return to the form that saw him register a 3.28 ERA through 20 starts in 2016. The Reds' rotation was crushed by injury last year but should be back to full strength this season. Homer Bailey, Brandon Finnegan, Luis Castillo and Tyler Mahle are expected to round out the rotation.
